just a few internal notes (the page should disappear as soon as possible ;)
== Known bugs ==
* mathematics
<texcode>
\startGNUPLOTscript{exp}
plot [0:3] 2/sqrt(pi)*exp(-x**2) t '$\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}e^{-x^2}$'
\stopGNUPLOTscript
</texcode>
* comments
<texcode>
\startGNUPLOTscript{sin}
# this comment should be ignored
plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTscript
</texcode>
* doesn't work with XeTeX yet
* Rotated PostScript images
-dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage
== TODO: ==
=== ConTeXt + terminal ===
* contour plot, <code>set style fill pattern</code>
* images
* handling fonts / set label "font"
* colour palettes
* smooth shading
=== Efficiency ===
* optimize the number of gnuplot runs (if possible, gnuplot should be run only once)
* optimize the number of times for loading/converting an already used graphic
=== Gnuplot core ===
* CLIP lines & points
* MITTERED/BUTT
* encoding: bigger list, it's not updated in help (encoding), add utf-8
* pm3d - smooth shading
=== Obscure ideas ===
* <code>set decimalsign ','</code> based on language setting or locales
== What has to be added to m-gnuplot.tex to support ConTeXt terminal ==
== What has to be added to context.trm ==
=== High priority ===
* fix the syntax for
set terminal context
* write documentation
* [HTH] add \switchtobodyfont[whateverisprovided]\strut to evert \sometxt: try using (implementing first) \GPtext instead of \sometxt
=== Middle priority ===
* support different font sizes
* check if everything is documented well enough in help
=== Low priority ===
* implement with_image: once it's clear how to do it
* study the code for palettes, implement them and document them
* (need some interference with the core code) improve the code for
draw_color_smooth_box(MODE_SPLOT) in graph3d.c -> color.c
=== Legend ===
* [HTH] = Need Hans's or Taco's Help
Different remarks about gnuplot development
== Notes == === Hans's note:===
Once we have lua in place it should not be that difficult to make a mechanism that works as follows:
* tex executes the command send by the socket
* etc
it needs some thinking but i thing think that it is possible === closed curves in parametric plots ===* it's probably not seen that easy, but if you want a circle with --cycle, set trange [0:2*pi]
